Diego is 9 years old and was clearly very loved—his previous owners had to surrender him due to a move. He’s calm, affectionate, and super easy to have around.
✅ House-trained
✅ Great on a leash
✅ Low-key and mellow
✅ Prefers to be the only dog
✅ Loves the couch (and your bed if you’ll let him!) 🛋️💤
He enjoys some light playtime, but mostly he’s a laid-back companion who just wants to hang out and be near his person.
If you or someone you know is looking for a chill, loving dog, please come meet Diego!

The AWL is here to find the best match possible between adopters and the animals in our care. Keep in mind that a pet’s personality is way more important, and it’s best to try to find a pet that will fit into your lifestyle.
